Dr. Waterbrook's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Waterbrook "My training at Loma Linda University, residency in general surgery, and practice in Dayton Ohio for five years have been a great base for practicing in Grass Valley. I became a doctor to treat the whole person, I believe that physical problems are often just one of the stressful things going on in life. I also believe there is a need to treat the underserved in our community, nation and world, and so medical mission trips are also an interest of mine whether here or abroad. In addition, I believe that spirituality should be addressed with each patient. My personal model is Jesus Christ who was the Great Physician. He came to heal people physically, mentally, and spiritually which gave them a correct understanding of God's love for them."
Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Waterbrook "Approaching each patient with the whole person in mind is always best regardless of the condition. Each patient deserves focused attention every time they see me. This allows me to get the whole picture besides the physical problem that brought them in."

Thank you Janet!
Thank you. We greatly appreciate your time to give us your feed back.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that you felt your diagnosis and treatment were not conveyed as you'd like. We try to give information as straightforwardly as possible to help you make informed and appropriate decisions. We also desire that our patients make it through the surgical process as safe as possible which is why we spent hours coordinating a cardiology appointment for you. Because of the shortage of cardiologists in our community this can be difficult. Rest assured we did try.
Jenny, Dr. Waterbrook appreciates you taking the time to give this glowing review. I'm glad that you feel that we are a friendly office and that Dr. Waterbrook listened to your concerns and answered your questions. We know surgery can be very stressful and we try to make your experience as comforting and stress free as possible. We are thankful that you wanted to share your positive experience with others. Thank you again. Blessings and continued good health. Tammy H. Practice Manager
